and on easels. When everybody had
arrived the Baron made neat little
speech Of welcome. He informed his
friends that be was much pleased
with America. What had particu
larly astonished him upon his arrival
was to find that everybody seemed to
have an occupation. He had lmme-
diately made up his mind to follow
the universal example and to make
his own living-to leave the ranks of
amateurs and join the professional
crew. An excellent supper was
served, and the guests left much
pleased with their reception.
New York is the American art cen.
ter, and Baron Won Oske decided to
open a studio in this city. He came
here last spring and displayed his
finished pictures. 10 his great sat-
isfaction and surprise, all were sold
and he was given sufficient number
of commissions to keep him busy for
a year. Baron Won Oske, with his
wife and infant, are spending the
summer in Europe.

Gen. Lees Bible.
Boston Globe.

Twenty-Five years ago regiment
of Maine soldiers were encamped on
Arlington Heights, and the boys, un.
derstanding that anything belonging
to the Rebels was common property
and, therefore, subject to confsca-
ton, ransacRed the old Lee mansion
pretty thoroughly. They captured
old pipes and cigars and wines and
pictures and everything that was
portable. Of course, they did not
need many of these things. Such
articles which had belonged to Gen.
Lee had peculiar interest and were
very desirable. One soldier, who
arrived after the desirable articles
had been taken, found the old family
Bible, and sent it down East to his
home in Maine. There were Bibles
in Maine, but none like this. After
the war was over this soldier return
ed home, and found to his surprise
that the Bible contained all the usu.
al ingredients, including the ten
commandments and Apocrypha, but
in addition to these, between the Old
and the New Testaments, was CON-
plete family record, giving the histo'
ry of the Lee family for the past two
hundred years.
The soldier was sorry that be had
taken the book, but too proud to &C.
knowledge the fault, and so held his
peace. In the meanwhile biograpers
were at work on the life of Gen. Lee,
and certain dates regarding the birth
and marriage of his ancestors were
wanting. If an old family Bible
could be found it would afford the
necessary iuformation.' Advertise
ments were inserted in ali the papers,
and by and by came letter from
Maine saying the Bible was in the
possession of a soldiers widow, who
would gladly restore it to the owner.
Before the property could be recov-
cred, however, the widow died, and
then came another long wait until
the estate was settled. But at last
the book was fully identified and
turned over to a messenger, who
passed through Boston yesterday.
carrying it to its old place at Arling-
ton Heights. The foolish act of a
boy soldier has hindered the compile
tion OF an important historical work
for years, but the Bible is at last re-
stored to its owner, and the biogra.
pher can now complete his task:

The Great Tower at Paris.
LOndOn TeleGrQDh,

The works on the Champ de Mars for.
the exhibition of 1889 are going on
apace. The foundation for several of,
the large buildings have been laid and
the modern Tower of Babel, which is be-
ing constructed under the auspices OF
NJ. Eiffel hopes that it will be quite fn-
ished by October next year. The first
story, about 180 feet in height, viii in
all probability be completed at he end.
Of December, and we shall then be able
to form fair conception Of the charac-.
ter of the entire structure. Curously:
enough the workmen engaged IN clear:
ing the centre Of the Champ de Mars
have met with unexpected difficulties,
owing to the fact that portions OF the
old exhibition buildings have not been
properly removed. They have been.
obliged to have recourse to blasting. s
hear, by the way, that most of
the men, about 600 in number, are en-.
ployed at the rate of 2fd. to Sd. per
hour. These are low wages for Paris,
but the behavior of the laborers has been
excellent, and their zeal and activity
have already won for them no small
amount of commentator.

Boycott1ng a Whole Town. ,

Several months ago the authorities
of Wellsville. O., took advantage of
the Dow law and closed the saloons
in that place. An organization was
formed and efforts to have the ordi-
nance repealed were made, but were
unsuccessful. Then the organization
adopted new tactics and decided to
boycott the whole town unless the
saloons were opened. In following
out their plan they have sought the
markets at another place, and now
are buying groceries and meats, and
even dry goods and clothes are being
purchased there. The members of
this club say that they will not buy
single article of Wellsville's mer-
chants until the saloons are opened.

CAMDEN, October 5.-Track lay
ing has commenced in earnest on the

ties in proper position, at the meas
ured distances apart, and the iron is
spiked down and jointed by another
crowd. The ties are carried out on
rollers that are kept in motion by a
stationary engine on the forward fiat

ropes, reach out several yards ahead
of the car, and can receive the ties,
placed on the rollers by hand, seven

Art OF Instantaneous Photography.

instantaneous photography is an

What 1t Costs to Raise a Boy.
Buffalo Frpreys.

~
MY father never did anything for
me- recently remarked young man
who, few weeks ago, finished his
school life and is now seeking a
good business opening. Judging by
the words and the complaining tone
in which they were uttered, the mem
ber of the firm who heard them is
prone to the belief that the young
mans idea of doing something" is
an outright gift Of $1,000 in lump,
or the purchase of partnership in
an established concern. The young
man, to the knowledge of the writer,
has never done one months actual
work for others in his entire life. His
life has been passed in the pleasant
pastimes of the home circle, in read
ing, studying, hunting, fishing, ball
playing, yachting and other employ.
ments not particularly beneficial to
others. He-is type of that class of
boys whose parents are sufficiently
well.to do to keep servants to attend
the household drudgery and whose
fathers follow yocations in which no
use can be made of the boys spare
time. Like most boys of his class
he looks upon his board and clothes
for twenty years, together with his
pony, jewelry, bicycle, ETC., as mat
ters of course. The writer, while
the complaining remark was still
ringing in his ears, had the curiosity
to make conservative compilation
of what it costs to raise an ordinary
boy for the first twenty years Of his
life, and here it is:
500 per year for the first five years......... 500
$50 per year for the second five years.. 75O
S2O per year for the third five yearS....... 100
$40 per year for the next three years.. 800
$50 per year for the next two yearS....... 100
Total, ,l5O
This is a moderate estimate of
the financial balance against the boy
who complains that his father has
never done ANYTHING for him.
